The summer transfer window is already stirring up the Serie A landscape, and AC Milan is at the centre of some of the most intriguing developments. With the club embarking on a new era under sporting director Igli Tare and the return of Massimiliano Allegri to the bench, Milan’s transfer strategy is closely intertwined with that of Juventus.
Sky Sport Italia report (as quoted by IlBianconero) how a central storyline is the potential departure of star left-back Theo Hernandez. Milan is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Saudi club Al-Hilal for the sale of Hernandez, with a fee in the region of 35 million euros on the table. While Al-Hilal awaits a response from the French defender, Milan is actively evaluating options for his replacement.
At the top of Milan’s shortlist is Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso. Cambiaso, who impressed during his time under Allegri at Juventus, is highly regarded by both the returning coach and the new sporting director. His versatility and attacking prowess make him an ideal candidate to fill the void that would be left by Hernandez’s departure.
The situation remains fluid, as Milan’s next moves hinge on Hernandez’s decision regarding his future. Should the Frenchman opt for a new adventure in Saudi Arabia, Milan is prepared to accelerate talks for Cambiaso, signalling a significant shift in the team’s defensive setup and transfer priorities for the upcoming season.
